Pandemic Planning. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx examined eight European pandemic plans published after 2009 in terms of framing of visions associated with the plans (5). They especially looked at signs of securitization of pandemic influenza. They argue that securitization was led by the WHO in the updated guidelines of 2013 where each WHO Member State is encouraged to conduct its own risk assessment and to adopt a framework of ‘Emergency Risk Management for Health’. The examined plans varied in length from 47-247 pages. The national plans of Czech Republic, France and Switzerland all had official versions translated into English and the Scandinavian authors examined the plans of Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway. They also studied the United Kingdom plan published in 2011. The Swiss, Norwegian and UK plans describe how stakeholders have been consulted in the development of the plans but stakeholder involvement was not outlined in the remaining plans. The authors describe both the British and the French plans as the most securitized and that these plans use uncertainty about the nature of future pandemics in a strategic way, accepting that there are many unknowns about the future pandemic and that we must learn to deal with the crisis in a very uncertain context. Three of the countries use pandemic phases published by WHO in 2009, rather than the updated phases in the new 2013 WHO guidance (6). The other plans use a different system and number of phases or stages e.g. 4 in France and 5 in the UK. The authors describe the French and the UK as using risk-based staging and Denmark and Switzerland as using epidemiologically based staging. They also describe a difference in emphasis on the possibility to delay spread in a country describing the Danish and the UK plans as most pessimistic in that regard. The plans also differ in the prioritisation or main strategic objective; some plans prioritise protection of life and health of the population whereas others give equal weight to societal functions. Not all countries include mass vaccination of the total population while four countries mention this as a possibility. Some countries describe wide deployment of antivirals in the early phases while others will mainly use them for treatment of serious disease and protection of at risk groups. Only Denmark and Finland mention adverse events following immunization, referring to the association of narcolepsy with the use of AS03-adjuvanted pandemic vaccine (Pandemrix) in 2009 in Sweden, Finlan...

  • Family Planning In accordance with 42 CFR §438.206(b)(7), the MCO must ensure that its network includes sufficient family planning providers to ensure timely access to covered family planning services for enrollees. Although family planning services are included within the MCO’s list of covered benefits, Medicaid and WVCHIP enrollees are entitled to obtain all Medicaid and WVCHIP covered family planning services without prior authorization through any Medicaid and WVCHIP provider, who will bill the MCO and be paid on a FFS basis.4 The MCO must give each enrollee, including adolescents, the opportunity to use his/her own primary care provider or go to any family planning center for family planning services without requiring a referral. The MCO must make a reasonable effort to Subcontract with all local family planning clinics and providers, including those funded by Title X of the Public Health Services Act, and must reimburse providers for all family planning services regardless of whether they are rendered by a participating or non-participating provider. Unless otherwise negotiated, the MCO must reimburse providers of family planning services at the Medicaid rate. The MCO may, however, at its discretion, impose a withhold on a contracted primary care provider for such family planning services. The MCO may require family planning providers to submit claims or reports in specified formats before reimbursing services. 4 Access to family planning services without prior notification is a federal law. Under OBRA 1987 Section 4113(c)(1)(B), “enrollment of an individual eligible for medical assistance in a primary case management system, a health maintenance organization or a similar entity must not restrict the choice of the qualified person, from whom the individual may receive services under Section 1905(a)(4)(c).” Therefore, Medicaid enrollees must be allowed freedom of choice of family planning providers and may receive such services from any family planning provider, including those outside the MCO’s provider network, without prior authorization. The MCO must provide its Medicaid and WVCHIP enrollees with sufficient information to allow them to make an informed choice including: the types of family planning services available, their right to access these services in a timely and confidential manner, and their freedom to choose a qualified family planning provider both within and outside the MCO’s network of providers. In addition, the MCO must ensure that network procedures for accessing family planning services are convenient and easily comprehensible to enrollees. The MCO must also educate enrollees regarding the positive impact of coordinated care on their health outcomes, so enrollees will prefer to access in-network services or, if they should decide to see out-of-network providers, they will agree to the exchange of medical information between providers for better coordination of care. In addition, the MCO is required to provide timely reimbursement for out-of-network family planning and related STD services consistent with services covered in their contracts. The reimbursement must be provided at least at the applicable West Virginia Medicaid FFS rate appropriate to the provider type (current family planning services fee schedule available from BMS). The MCO, its staff, contracted providers and its contractors that are providing cost, quality, or medical appropriateness reviews, or coordination of benefits or subrogation must also keep family planning information and records received from non-participating providers confidential in favor of the individual patient even if the patient is a minor. Maternity services, hysterectomies, and pregnancy terminations are not considered family planning services.

Upon Xxxxx’s written and reasonable request, Supplier shall provide Buyer an executive summary of test results and a report of corrective actions (including the timing for implementation) to be taken to remedy any deficiencies identified by such testing.
